It was really easy to get [[Sugar]] going under gentoo using sugar-jhbuild. The instructions on this page have been tested under Gentoo 2006.1 ~x86 |
|||
=== Emerge(1) the prerequisites === |
|||
There are a number of packages required to get going. All of these, with the |
|||
exception of jhbuild, are in the portage tree. |
|||
emerge -av dev-util/git cvs subversion docbook-sgml-utils gtk-doc avahi expat gstreamer xulrunner pycurl networkmanager |
|||
I have definitely missed one or two as I started with a full xorg-x11 desktop with gnome already installed, please add them to this list if you find any! |
|||
Note: as of 2007-01-24 the networkmanager package and a number of its dependencies are now hard-masked by Gentoo due to bug reports To emerge these dependencies you will need to add the packages to /etc/portage/package.unmask. This is generally *not* recommended on Gentoo for anyone not willing to deal with problems that arise themselves. |
|||
Also note the following message during building: |
|||
cryptsetup requires dm-crypt support! |
|||
Please enable dm-crypt support in your kernel config, found at: |
|||
(for 2.6 kernels) |
|||
Device Drivers |
|||
Multi-Device Support |
|||
Device mapper support |
|||
[*] Crypt Target Support |
|||
and recompile your kernel if you want this package to work with this kernel. Many kernels will have the module already, try: |
|||
modprobe dm-crypt |
|||
and see if you have the kernel module already. |
|||
Many of the packages are also not available without using the "unstable" flag for x86 (i.e. adding the package to /etc/portage/package.keywords). |
|||
=== Getting and building jhbuild === |
|||
Instructions for getting and installing jhbuild can be found at: http://www.gnome.org/~jamesh/jhbuild.html#getting-started |
|||
However, note that these instructions are somewhat out of date, jhbuild is now stored in SVN instead of CVS. Check it out with: |
|||
svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/jhbuild/trunk jhbuild |
|||
=== Python 2.5 is Required === |
|||
You will need to upgrade your Gentoo installation to Python 2.5. Note that Python is used to run the portage package management system. You will likely need to set ~amd64 or ~x86 for Python. After emerging Python 2.5 you will need to run: |
|||
python-updater |
|||
to rebuild your python modules. |
|||
=== Using Sugar-jhbuild === |
|||
Use of Sugar-jhbuild is detailed on [[Sugar#Build_from_sources|building Sugar from sources]]. To summarize those instructions: |
|||
git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/sugar-jhbuild |
|||
cd sugar-jhbuild |
|||
./sugar-jhbuild |
|||
If you had already checked out sugar-jhbuild previously, make sure your copy is up-to-date before building: |
|||
cd sugar-jhbuild |
|||
git-pull |
|||
The sanity checks are still very basic but, often, good information can be gotten from: |
|||
./sugar-jhbuild sanitycheck |
|||
=== Troubleshooting === |
|||
==== missing db2html ==== |
|||
You may find that jhbuild complains about missing 'db2html' in which case you will need to create a symlink from docbook2html: |
|||
ln -s /usr/bin/docbook2html /usr/bin/db2html |
|||
==== missing gconf.def ==== |
|||
gnome-python-desktop was complaining about a missing gconf.def: |
|||
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: |
|||
'sugar-jhbuild/build/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/gconf.defs' |
|||
I rectified this with a: |
|||
touch build/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/gconf.defs |
|||
and the build completed without problem. |
|||
=== Testing sugar === |
|||
When using [[Sugar_with_sugar-jhbuild|sugar-jhbuild]], you can use: |
|||
./sugar-jhbuild run |
|||
If you want to run Sugar from the source tree enter in a jhbuild shell: |
|||
./sugar-jhbuild shell |
|||
Then from the directory sugar-jhbuild/source/sugar), use: |
|||
shell/sugar |
